No, updates don't lose any of your personal data. Just follow the directions at Update Firefox to the latest release.

It is important to stay up to date, as the latest versions of Firefox fix performance issues and plug many known security holes.

Note that you can backup your personal data that is stored in the Firefox profile folder. Doing that never hurts and is always recommended.
